Bachelorette party with....mom?

Danielle, on August 2, 2011 at 11:18 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 14

I know some girls are totally cool with this, but I'm not! I have never been super close with my mom because she is really jugdemental. Now I find out that she was invited to my bachelorette party! Even my FH says I have to uninvite her. I feel like I won't be able to have as much fun because I will be worrying if she thinks I'm drinking too much or acting too crazy. And my BMs were talking about the party and one was like "Well she's not coming to the 2nd part of the night...right?" Other friend confirmed that she was....If there are naked men involved I WILL DIE!

    Another thread with a FMIL coming was just started so you might check in on suggestions posted there, too.

    Could you do something separate with her and a few others (sisters, cousins, etc)? That's what I'm planning on doing. I have a ton of fun with my mom and we're really close, but I don't see her coming to my bachelorette party. Good luck!

    I was at my daughters Bach Party, but, we are close. If you are not, then, that could be odd.

    I think it would depend on how close you are ppl asked me if i was going to invite my step mom who i am super close to but I said no I cant invite my mom to my bachelorette party just not what you should do... She would totally have fun and i wouldnt feel to much like i couldnt let loose but still no

    but like Kathy i know is super close to her daughter so im not surprised that she would go

    I wouldnt go if my mom was invited. Have a BM call her and say there has been a change of plans or something...or just tell her she cant come. I'm not even going to a strip club but just knowing how my mom is...hmmm nope not happening!

    I feel bad because my mom wants to be close to me, but she's kinda mean to me. This is well acknowledged by others. I love her and all, but I would much rather she not be there. I'm sure she asked the other girls if she could come and they felt bad saying "no." grrrr. I'll check out that other thread Kacee ty.

    I guess the only thing for you to do is uninvite her tell her it would be odd and not really something you bring your mom to yeah her feelings may be hurt but its your party and in the end she should understand

    Glad I'm not the only one that has a stressful mother Mrs. D! If I uninvite her, she would make me feel guilty FOR MONTHS. Its what she does, and she's real good at it. I am hoping my cousin can talk to her and give her some excuse why she can't go...

    Sorry, I can't help you here. I am open and close with my mom so I will be ok with her being there but some of my aunts might be a little odd

    I guess it all depends on what kind of party your BMs are throwing for you. If you're having a sort of low-key kind of night, then sure. But for me personally, I wouldn't want my mom there. I'm semi-close with my mom but that doesn't mean I want her there that night. That's a night for friends IMO.

    If your mom feels left out or upset for not being invited, offer to do something just the two of you the night before the wedding.

    For me, I figure that I'll be at my parents' house the night before anyway.

    That totally sucks. I get along with my mom, but she's very conservative, and I am not at all. So if she were coming to my party, I'd be kind of upset, especially if she was coming to the second part.

    Maybe you can talk to you MOH and see if she can make arrangements for your mom to go home at the end of the first part....

    I think maybe you should talk with your mom about this. My mom is very conservative and I could never imagine her accepting the bachelorette party invite ...
